On September 2, NYDFS advised regulated insurers to expedite Tropical Depression Ida-related insurance claims. Emphasizing the severity of damage experienced by homeowners and businesses, NYDFS urged insurers to work towards a fair and speedy resolution of claims. In addition to outlining expectations related to the claims process, NYDFS noted that it will also “expedite the issuance of temporary adjustor permits as necessary to qualified out-of-state independent insurance adjusters pursuant to New York Insurance Law” to increase the number of available adjusters to process claims.
